    Making Nonhumans different

    Mmh, I act often that way with my human character. Well, certain dm's game, since it often becomes sleep-fest. Random potions, been there. Suspicious thing to touch "me, meeee". Thanks for idea, next time I will use racial excuse. :P But right, since I know low survival rate some of that...

    Switching from fantasy to scifi

    Alien dungeons... mmh. Alien spiderweb-like city. Living space vessel (litlle like inner-spece movie), their ship get overrun by nasty things from space/space-port/planet you visited. you have to find them all before they destroy ship. Ancient alien ruins to investigate on planet maybe with...

    Making Nonhumans different

    Paizo has re-flavored races for Golarion. Space-elves, fey-gnomes etc. They have some theme-rules too and if fallowed could lead to some interesting situations. I don't really like playing non-humans myself. Unless they started as humans. Human corrupted into 'something' is my most common...

    "Gamism," The Forge, and the Elephant in the Room

    Hehe, that clarifies it quite much. Still, not useful. I think whole Forge thing is to gloryfy some "Narrativism" (horrible word) - style, that very few normal rolepleyers like. I think that is easily seen in their lack of sales. Gllory to ideas where money goes, so sorry, but no matter how...

    When do you boot a player

    I suggest kicking now, unless you and lady both think to give him last change. There must be something good about him, since have been willing to look him that long. Helping himself to host's food is clear warning sign. Unless it's been really normal at his friend circles, but in healthy cases...

    Social Skills, starting to bug me.

    I would have very big problem with this in my second group. The one with in-game silent types. Because I sometimes want to roleplay not socially smart quiet type. And if there weren't those rollls, people would just keep looking at me until I say something. Terrible annoying. I have enought of...

    Social Skills, starting to bug me.

    When we have similar playstyle we don't need to roll if some social skill works. Well, some "sense motivation" roll sometimes, because we aren't in that world, so we can't see their body language etc. Too random to try to spot something peculiar in dm:s acting. But skill needs to be taken in...

    When do you boot a player

    i have booted myself many times. Even from friend's games. If they are playing some game, that I really don't have good time with why bother. Not all people know when to leave though. One player who got kicked multiple time was enjoying being griefer. He made characters to act like a-hole. He...

    Scarred Lands: Best Books?

    I don't like Edge of Infiny at all. It alters Scarred Land base ideas and it doesn't say they are alternate views but just say very wrong things. Also it's one of most boringly written books. Zodiak Planes were pretty cool and some few good ideas exist but if you want to keep mythology as Divane...

    D&D 4E PROPS TO PAIZO – On How Pathfinder feels (more like) D&D (to me) than 4E

    Hehe. I rewrote story that his hatred for females was because of Sarashnae (sp?) who got involted with his brother and with her forginess and approval caused him to create again more things that caused chaos and ended into situation where he killed his brother which wasn't such a happy family...

    D&D 4E PROPS TO PAIZO – On How Pathfinder feels (more like) D&D (to me) than 4E

    I never had change to play 4th edition. I don't like the system for it's feel, so I never consider running it. Mostly because lack of magical feel which is more than rules, coming from how utterly boringly those books were written. I could play however. Though, that said it's not game of D&D...

    The Cost of Magic (potential house rule)

    Fatigue rules are find. I don't like to "succeed" to cast spell rolls, unless magic is as unlimited than warrior's swordswinging. For different feel I prefer subdual casting dmg, with failed rolls, or real damage for backflash of critically failed roll. I would make this dmg based on level of...

    How to ease players into a sandbox style?

    Well I am pretty aware my turtling player's issues. They are many, turtling is only one of them. He prefers AD&D, I prefer D&D3.x. He complains a lot. For one he has issues about how 3.x nerfed magic. Ok, but then he goes on complaing about some powerful spells. And yet again when he runs/plays...

    How Girls and Boys Play

    Ah, but point is these, some of these ideas were wrong, very wrong and hurt sales. Wasted lot of money on product very few were found interesting. Only time (and sales) will tell if they are right. And then there is location/country where product is put into sale. Let's say japan has very...

    Musical RPG

    Wrote long here, missclick and lost the text, not the first time either. Oh well. Short version. Did sing some silly "bard" songs years back, as npc. I sing badly. Would be really nice to play some musical game, but with my current groups it won't happen. I have actually written some lyrics for...

    How to ease players into a sandbox style?

    Heh, I play D&D for dungeons and dragons, and maybe spaceship and aliens, and horrors men should not know. I like playing D&D as adventure game. I have tried to explain this idea to my scary-pants player, but he just doesn't think he is doing it. He is in denial, as he is about his evil...

    Coaxing the new player to the table

    Good luck with that. You've had some great tips here. But I must tell you warning story. I knew one girl that was interesting about D&D games. And she slipped that information to some half-friends (not fiends). And they got all over her for that. It was polite, but she was kinda shy girl, and...

    How Girls and Boys Play

    Dunno what you mean. Some's behavior is easy to tell, both in kids and adults. Some people are harder to observe. Some kids talk aloud when they play, some only talk in their head. I have no idea if my experiences are unusual or is their date wrong. I woudn't be suprised, many toys have failed...
